Pnin - Vladimir Nabokov
Category: Classic
Narrator: Stefan Rudnicki
Tags: Classic, Humor, Literature
Duration: 5 hrs and 41 mins, Professor Timofey Pnin is a haplessly disoriented Russian emigre precariously employed on an American college campus in the 1950s. Pnin struggles to maintain his dignity through a series of comic and sad misunderstandings, all the while falling victim both to subtle academic conspiracies and to the manipulations of a deliberately unreliable narrator., Initially an almost grotesquely comic figure, Pnin gradually grows in stature by contrast with those who laugh at him. Whether taking the wrong train to deliver a lecture in a language he has not mastered or throwing a faculty party during which he learns he is losing his job, the gently preposterous hero of this enchanting novel evokes the listeners deepest protective instinct., ******, Please seed and keep the torrent alive. Drop me a PM on the forum if you have any issues. Thanks! :)
